Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 10,1919.

' Application filed August 24, 1917. Serial No. 187,940.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, -HAPRY J. FAVORITE, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Tippecanoe City, in the county of Miami and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing:

'This'invention relates to churns and has for an object to improve the. construction shown in Patent N 0. 1,202,415, Oct. '24, 1916, of which the present applicant is a joint in- An additional object is to provide a churn which may be attached readilyto a jar of a common type, the beater of which is adjustable for different sizes of jars.

Further objects are to provide a churn which may be produced at a lower cost of construction than that. shown in the patent referred to and to provide a churn having a bearing on the bottom of the jar whereby the beater may extend close tothe jars bottom and thereby be adapted to churn small amounts of materialwhen that is necessary.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure 1 is a central vertical section ofthe preferred form ofmyimproved churn Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the. same; Figik3 is a perspectivevievv ofone of the beater sections; and Fig. 4 is'a horizontal sectional .V1ew;-Figs. 5 to 7 inclusive, show a modified form of churn, F1g.;5 be1nga VGItlOZLl cen- Fig. 6 a plan view and'Fig. .7

tral section, a horizontal section through the jar showing-the beater blades.

The form shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7 which is a modified form will be first described.- Fig. 5 shows a jargl having the usual provided a sup- Depending from the sup porting member is a spider frame or bracket 3, the supportingmember having a bearing 4 and the sp'der frame being provided with a bearing 5. Passing 'through these two" bearings is a shaft 6 carrying the beater 7 The beater is rigidly attached to the shaft and the shaft may beslid in the direction of its length through its bearings 4 and 5.

Loose on the shaft is a driving pinion 8 constructed to engage with a detachable rack bar- 9 having a handle 10. The reciprocation of the rack bar 9 by the handle 10 serves to a rotate the driving pinion 8 and thus through the shaft 6serves torotate the beater 7 e A supporting frame 11 is carried by the member 2 and this is cut away at opposite sides, asshown in Fig. 6, to permit movement of the rack bar 9. Directly'under the guard 11 1s a collar 12 which may be rigidly attached to the driving pinion 8. The pinion 8 and the collar 12 together take up the space between the supporting member 2 and the guard 11. The collar 12 is provided with a set screw 13 engaging the shaft 6 and serving tolock the shaft and the pinion 8 together. As an alternative the screw. 13 may, if desired, ride in a keyway 14 cut in the shaft 6, or a projection 141 in the pinion 8 may ride in this key way.

f the projection 141 is provided or if the screw 13 rests lightly in the key way 14, the shaft 6 will be free to move down wardly in its bearings until the lower end thereof rests on the bottom of the jar and the shaft will remain there merely by its weight. If the set screw 13 is employed to lock the shaft 6 and pinion 8 together the "shaft 6 should be adjusted to touch the bottom of the jar ened.

As shown there are four blades 15 com prising the beater and'these are arranged at right angles to each other and have vertical strips 16. The shaft 6 ends at the bottom in a pointi -or pivot 17 adapted to rest on the before the screw is tightposition of the parts will be about as shown in Fig. 5, the shaft 6 tance above the top of 'tion ofthe rack bar 9 projecting some disthe jar. Reciprocaserves to rotate the beater and churn the material in the jar. Ifthe churn is attached to a larger size, such as a quart jar, the screw-13 may be loosened or if it simply rides in the key-way 14, the shaft 6 may slide downwardly in *itsibearings 4 and 5 and the pivot 17 will again rest on the bottom of the large size jar. Tightening the set screw 13 when that is necessary will then permit churning of the material in the larger size jar.

Referring now to Figs. 1 t0 4, there is there, provided a supporting member 21 which is shown as attached to a larger size jar, such as a quart size. There is the same bracket or spider 22 and bearings 23 and 2 l for the churn shaft 25. The driving pinion 26 may be rigidly fast to the shaft 25 and it is oscillated by a rack 27 driven by a handle 28.

In this construction the beater is provided with two separate portions, an upper one, 29, fast to the shaft 25and a lower one, 30, connected at its outer edges to the upper section 29. As shown in Fig. 3 the section 29 is 31 which are turned over to form a groovein which the outer edges of the lower section30 may ride. In this construction the beater has only two provided with edges blades but these are each composed of a numberof vertical strips having cut away portions between them, whereby an effective churningoperation is assured.

' The lower section 30 of the beater is provided with a pivot 32 which may rest on the I able for use on bottom of the jar.

In the use of this form the two sections 29 and 80 of the beater are used on large size jars, the section 30 being adjustable relative to the section 29 by sliding it until the pivot 32 rests on the bottom of the jar. In case the device is to be used on a smaller size jar, the

in the patented form for the reason that jars intended to have the same capacity vary slightly in size. Thus, with the patented form it was necessary to be certain that the beater did not touch the bottom of the jar and thus it was difficult to churn very small amounts of material; With the present. constructions this difficulty is overcome as the blades are in all cases closely adjacent the bottom of the jar.

Having thus fully described my invention, a what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. Ina churn, the combination, with a receptacle, bearings supported therein, a shaft I Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Coininissioner of l atents,
